Whale-Shaped iPhone Case Is Surprisingly Functional

When it comes to developing a functional iPhone case, whales don’t typically come to mind. With their wide bodies and protruding fins, it makes more sense for the ocean-dwelling mammal stay under water than in your hand.

But that didn’t stop designer Seyook Lee from creating the iWhale, a case that “mimics the silhouette of a whale coming to the water’s surface to breathe,” according to Yanko Design.

Surprisingly, the iWhale is more functional than it looks. The case’s curved tail allows users to prop up or hang the phone for video-viewing, while its humped back makes the phone easier to hold. There’s also space inside to store headphones and other accessories. And to top it all off, the whale’s blowhole is a headphone jack.
